5 ✭’s to Eight Simple Rules for Dating a Dragon.

Got an ARC for a Kerrelyn Sparks book. So excited!!! Thank you publishers & NetGalley.

I truly loved this book. I wish that I had gotten to it sooner. Kerrelyn Sparks continues her Embraced series with the same humorous and hot magical fantasy theme here. I reviewed the prior book, So I Married a Sorcerer, and I am up to date on the current events in the series. I don't think it would be hard to pick this up if you haven't read any of the other books. It picks up and rolls with it. It isn't a high fantasy novel, so if fantasy isn't your thing, I would still pick this up if you are a historical person. It has a little of that feel to it. Don't get me wrong, there are dragons, and Gwennore is an elf.

Gwennore is an elf and the countries her "sisters" rule overlook down on her. The Elves are seen as violent creatures. So when her two married sisters try to play matchmaker with the three single sisters, it leaves Gwennore feeling desperately lonely. All the men sneer at her and make fun of her appearance. She is constantly being talked about through the whole book. They're calling her names, constantly saying she is going to kill everyone. So Gwen is constantly doubting her self-worth. She has mastered all the languages, she is extremely loving to her adopted family, she even has a good sense of humor that you only see with Silas.

Silas reminds me of my husband. No seriously!!! He really has that same rotten but funny humor. He makes you smile when you want to be mad. When you're serious he knows just the way to frustrate you but make you happy. Silas is much like a teenage boy too. He is from one of the three cursed clans. So women would adore them from afar, but never risk actually dating them. They fear the curse that makes them go mad or lose any children they would bear.

I loved their relationship. I love the development of the story, the world, and where it is going. I am excited to see what the deal with the elves is. Damn... I don't want to say anything because I don't want to spoil anything. I will say you don't see much of the elves. You only hear them being mentioned. So it really has piqued my interest. I think Sorcha gets her book next, and I think we get to see the elves. The only thing that bothered me truly, was that I could not wrap my mind around how to pronounce Gwennore. So every time I would read her name, my mind would stutter. It would take me out of the rhythm of reading, and take me out of the book world for a minute.

Getting ready to start reading this today. I am still super behind on my reading list. I went through a point I just requested any book that interested me on NetGalley and got approved for more than I thought I would. Ops! So with some IRL stuff getting taken care of, I can now really play catch up. So far since I hit me “I am dedicated to books right now” I have crushed through all of my Donna Grant books. There were good ones and amazing ones. So I am pumped. 

I’ve read two Kerrelyn Sparks books before. How to Marry a Millionaire Vampire, which I rated 4 stars, but it was close to a 3 star for just being good. It was before I had my blog so I can’t link back to that. It was a fun read. So I Married a Sorcerer I gave a solid 4 star to (https://rozziereads.blogspot.com/2017/09/so-i-married-sorcerer-by-kerrelyn.html) I was laughing out loud, and Kerrelyn Sparks write really good love stories. 

The book I am about to start now is the third book in The Embraced series. So I married a Sorcerer came before it. So High Five, I get to continue reading in this world. I am looking forward to this book.

This was a house we drove by one day. I took this while on the high way. It was just too cool looking to pass up

My mouse

yea not like a pet mouse. It’s broke. Or it needs cleaning. It keeps double clicking when it's not supposed to. It is driving me crazy.

Since I’m starting this so late and I don't have any posts, I figured I would post some pics to get me started.
